BD-RE (page 65)
BD-RE (Blu-ray Disc Rewritable) is a
recordable and rewritable Blu-ray Disc,
available in the same capacities as the BD

applications possible.
BD-ROM (page 65)
BD-ROMs (Blu-ray Disc Read-Only
Memory) are commercially produced discs
and are available in the same capacities as the
BD below. Other than conventional movie
and video contents, these discs have
enhanced features such as interactive content,
menu operations using pop-up menus,
selection of subtitle display, and slideshow.
Although a BD-ROM may contain any form
of data, most BD-ROM discs will contain
movies in High Definition format, for
playback on Blu-ray Disc/DVD players.
Blu-ray Disc (BD) (page 65)
A disc format developed for recording/
playing high-definition (HD) video (for
HDTV, etc.), and for storing large amounts of
data. A single layer Blu-ray Disc holds up to
25 GB, and a dual-layer Blu-ray Disc holds
up to 50 GB of data.
Deep Colour (page 47)
These are video signals for which the colour
depth of signals passing through an HDMI
jack have been enhanced. With a Non-Deep
Colour-compatible player, the number of
colours 1 pixel can express is 24 bits
(16,777,216 colours). However, with a Deep
Colour-compatible player, 1 pixel can
express more bits, such as 36 bits. With more
bits, the gradation of colour depth can be
expressed more finely, and continuous colour
changes will be displayed more smoothly.
Dolby Digital Plus (page 69)
Developed as an extension to Dolby Digital,
the audio coding technology supports 7.1
multi-channel surround sound.
Dolby TrueHD (page 69)
Dolby TrueHD is a lossless coding
technology that supports up to 8 channels of
multi-channel surround sound for the next
generation optical discs. The reproduced
sound is true to the original source bit-for-bit.
DTS-HD High Resolution Audio (page 69)
Developed as an extension to DTS Digital
Surround format. It supports a maximum
sampling frequency of 96 kHz, and 7.1 multi-
channel surround.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia
Interface) (page 15)
HDMI is an interface that supports both video
and audio on a single digital connection. The
HDMI connection carries standard- to high-
definition video signals and multi-channel
audio signals to AV components such as
HDMI equipped TVs, in digital form without
degradation.
The HDMI specification supports HDCP
(High-bandwidth Digital Contents
Protection), a copy protection technology for
digital entertainment contents for HDMI.
HD Reality Enhancer (page 37, 40)
Sony-developed technology provides real-
time parsing pixel-by-pixel, performs
optimum smoothing, clarifies details,
removes noise and achieves smoother
gradation in video signals during playback.
LTH (Low to High) (page 66)
LTH is a recording system that supports
organic pigment type BD-R.
PhotoTV HD (page 41)
